using Parallax Propeller #1139
Description
Hi,
I have a Propeller Hat (https://shop.pimoroni.de/products/propeller-hat) that I'd like to use with johnny-five. Would this require an expander or an I2C backpack, and are there any documents available on how to create one of these? Thank you!

It looks like it can be controlled directly via i2c according to it's open source documentation. The raspi-io docs will show you how to read and write via i2c. The code for the propeller-hat has examples of the device via i2c but as far as I know johnny-five does not yet have an expander class for this particular device.
I would take a look at some of the existing expanders for an example of you might write your own. I think it would be a cool plugin that would help a lot of people.

@reconbot if we can get one of these, we can get support added.

Hi @martinschuberteu,
Johnny-Five contributors and maintainers are loathe to close issues where someone has a need. We don't want anyone to ever feel that we don't care, but we just haven't gotten to this feature yet. Rather than leave it languishing as an open issue we have created a Requested Features page and added your request for the Parallax Propeller there.
